Bcas2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to be involved in mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including alternative mRNA splicing, via spliceosome; ovarian follicle development; and spindle assembly. Predicted to be located in centrosome and nuclear speck. Predicted to be part of DNA replication factor A complex; Prp19 complex; and U2-type catalytic step 2 spliceosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer. Orthologous to human BCAS2 (BCAS2 pre-mRNA processing factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Bcas2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
